It’s expected that Avengers: Endgame will be the final outing for some of our favourite heroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with the likes of Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man), Chris Evans (Captain America) and Chris Hemsworth (Thor) all out of contract with Marvel Studios come the release of the Phase Three-ending blockbuster.
Well, it seems we may be set for another swansong, as Gwyneth Paltrow has revealed to Variety that she plans on stepping away from the MCU after more than a decade of playing Pepper Potts – although she is open to potential cameos further down the line.
“I mean, I’m a bit old to be in a suit and all that at this point,” said Paltrow. “I feel very lucky that I did it, because I actually got talked into it. I was friends with [Iron Man director] Jon Favreau. It was such a wonderful experience making the first Iron Man and then to watch how important it has become to fans. I feel honored to be a part of something that people are so passionate about. Of course, if they said, ‘Can you come back for a day?,’ I will always be there if they need me.”
